    Copa del Rey: SD Huesca - FC Barcelona 0-4

    Anyone else think that squad seems a bit on the small size? No Adama is an obvious disappointment going by the rave reviews I've read of him, as is Halilovic based on his potential, but good to see Ie, Samper and Sandro in. Think LE will go with: MaTS Douglas Barta Ie Adriano Samper Roberto...

    New 2014-2015 kits

    Good God. Saw this on Twitter yesterday and I thought it was a wind-up... Evidently not. It's one thing putting an actual shirt sponsor on the front of the shirt. One as deplorable as Qatar Airways was a kick in the balls as it was. But now, horizontal stripes? It's verging on lunacy. Are...

    Sergio Busquets

    Goal aside, I thought he was our worst player on the pitch (not his fault). I've seen him a few times before playing that CM position and I knew from the lineup last night that it would be more of the same. Just looked totally uncomfortable so advanced, I would much rather have saw him and Masch...

    Gerard Piqué

    Man of the match for me, terrific performance. He's hardly a favourite of mine but everyone who was bashing him a few pages ago seems awfully quiet now.

    Seydou Keita

    One of my favourite non-Masia players for Barca, ever. Criminally under-rated and one of my endearing memories of the Pep era, above the CL wins and the hammerings of Madrid, is Keita scoring a hat-trick against Zaragoza. Really glad to see him doing so well for Roma. Deserves his success.

    Jeremy Mathieu

    "@barcastuff: In the speed tests during Barcelona's pre-season, French centre back Jeremy Mathieu proved to be the fastest player of the squad. [md]" Not sure if serious...

    Daniel Alves

    Although it's not ideal for the team, it's probably right for Alves to move on. I actually think he's looked a bit more livelier in the opening two games under Lucho but I agree with what others have said - his insistence on crossing is just stupid. I hope he goes back to Bahia, seems like...

    Eric Abidal

    Away on loan to Olympiacos, apparently due to Monaco's treatment of Valdes.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Please point out where I've stated that the purchase of Suarez will result in no defenders being bought this summer? I just find it staggering that we're prepared to pay such a large amount for a player that we don't really need, whereas I've read for the past few weeks and months over Zubi's...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Willing to pay £80m for Suarez, but not €50m for Benatia. #ZubiLogic :facepalm:

    New 2014-2015 kits

    Would I be correct in saying that the Champions League version of the shirt will be Beko-less, and should be available to buy?

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    I'm not excited at all by Suarez's impending move, at all. From a practical perspective he'll be missing until October at the very least, and will probably struggle without a proper pre-season behind him. Then there's his mental state. He quite clearly has something wrong with him and the fact...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Anyone else remember when Barca had morals? I can't believe that we're quite willing to spunk £80m on someone with Suarez's mentality and past misdemeanours. Even more unbelievable is the fact we're willing to spend this money on Suarez when we've been needing a CB for 3 years yet Zubi et al...

    New 2014-2015 kits

    Think I might be alone in liking the font for the players' names and numbers... Could just be because I really like Gaudi.

    Luis Enrique is the new coach of FC Barcelona

    @barcastuff: Luis Enrique: "I like to use players from the academy, the door is open, but they will have to work very hard. The future is in their hands" Back to basics, love it. :worthy: :worthy:

    Luis Enrique is the new coach of FC Barcelona

    Had a bit of time to think about it, and I really think Lucho is the right man for the job. There's just something about him that gives off the impression of a strong-willed, independent manager who'll get the job done through flair and attractive football, at the same time not neglecting...

    New 2014-2015 kits

    I don't think the font of the player's names and numbers will be too different btw, if the "Barca" on the back of the collar is anything to go by... Sexy kit though. No doubt I sound like a broken down record player but Qatar takes some of the shine off our kits... Would look divine with Unicef...

    5 - Carles Puyol

    Puyol knows himself that the needs of the team come before his own personal situation. He more than anybody embodies the "team first, individuals second" mantra. If he doesn't get on, I'd love to see his farewell be the Gamper game in pre-season. A game against Milan would be a fitting end.

    Gerard Piqué

    Remember when everyone was getting on his back for being inadequate? No coincidence our season has gone to shit (so far) since he got injured...

    Alen Halilović

    Classy touch. Looking forward to seeing how he progresses with the B team next season. By all accounts he is a terrific prospect and already a decent player, but I'll take what I've read with a pinch of salt considering the relative standing of the Croatian league.
